Pilgers Morgenlied

Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Morgennebel, Lila, 
Hüllen deinen Turm um.
Soll ich ihn zum 
Letztenmal nicht sehn!
Doch mir schweben 
Tausend Bilder
Seliger Erinnerung
Heilig warm ums Herz.
Wie er so stand, 
Zeuge meiner Wonne,
Als zum erstenmal 
Du dem Fremdling
Ängstlich liebevoll 
Begegnetest,
Und mit einemmal 
Ewge Flammen 
In die Seel' ihm warfst.
Zische, Nord, 
Tausend-schlangen-züngig 
Mir ums Haupt!
Beugen sollst du's nicht!
Beugen magst du 
Kind'scher Zweige Haupt,
Von der Sonne 
Muttergegenwart geschieden.

Allgegenwärt'ge Liebe! 
Durchglühst mich,
Beutst dem Wetter die Stirn, 
Gefahren die Brust,
Hast mir gegossen 
Ins früh welkende Herz 
Doppeltes Leben,
Freude, zu leben, 
Und Mut!
